Sydney is the capital city for the state of New South Wales. It has a population of 4,041,400 (4.04 million) and is located directly upon Sydney Harbour. Sydney is a thriving, dynamic and multicultural city.
Sydney was the first European settlement in Australia. Lieutenant, later Capt. Cook sailed along the Eastern coastline in April 1770, mooring in Botany Bay, but never came into the Harbour itself. It was not until 1788 that Governor Philip Arthur discovered the beauty and potential of this massive harbour. Initially it was intended to be a setttlement for convicts. However from 1825, Sydney slowly developed into a community where convicts and free settlers worked and lived together.
Sydney is most famous for it's two icons, The Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The Harbour Bridge took 9 years to build, it is 134 metres tall at the highest point and weighs an enormous 60,000 tonnes. The Opera House was designed by Danish Architect Joern Utzon.

must say that I went to Sydney for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I do believe Australia has much better sights in the bush. And no rude people!
